Did you take one of these taxis in Cuba?

I didn't because I wasn't in Havana that long. But I saw them of course. The mode of transportation in eastern Cuba is ox-drawn cart. Motorized engines of any kind are very rare outside of Havana.

Those taxis are great. They are called Coco Taxis. They were first put out on the street for use by the everyday citizen. They became so popular among the tourists, that now only tourists use them. They sit two in the back; and because it's so open, there is a continuous flow of a nice breeze. The view from inside those taxis is great as one can imagine. I hired one for $9.00 an hour. A regular taxi only charges $8.00 an hour. The Coco Taxi is the only way see Havana.
